More From David Satcher

After a disaster such as hurricane katrina, the federal government has a profound obligation to help those in need, .. right now, the victims of hurricane katrina need our help. entire communities have been destroyed. families have been torn apart. many are still missing. tens of thousands remain homeless. as the recovery proceeds, we in the senate pledge to do everything in our power to help rebuild the shattered lives across the gulf coast.
Recovery Government Profound
It is safe to say that almost every person living in new orleans at the moment hurricane katrina struck shared your belief in an omnipotent, omniscient, and compassionate god. but what was god doing while katrina laid waste to their city? surely he heard the prayers of those elderly men and women who fled the rising waters for the safety of their attics, only to be slowly drowned there.
Prayer Men Elderly
Advance warning of katrina's path was wrested from mute nature by meteorological calculations and satellite imagery. god told no one of his plans. had the residents of new orleans been content to rely on the beneficence of god, they wouldn't have known that a killer hurricane was bearing down upon them until they felt the first gusts of wind on their faces. and yet, as will come as no surprise to you, a poll conducted by the washington post found that 80 percent of katrina's survivors claim that the event only strengthened their faith in god.
New Orleans Wind Atheism
Our commitment to this founding principle is especially relevant today. americans are united as rarely before in compassion and generosity for our fellow citizens whose lives have been devastated by hurricane katrina. the powerful winds and floodwater of katrina tore away the mask that has hidden from public view the many americans who are left out and left behind.
Powerful Commitment Compassion
Fraud is common when you give away billions. fraud related to hurricane katrina spending is estimated to top $2 billion. in addition, debit cards provided to hurricane victims were used to pay for caribbean vacations, nfl tickets, dom perignon champagne, 'girls gone wild' videos, and at least one sex change operation.

The stark and tragic images of human suffering in the aftermath of hurricane katrina have reminded us yet again that civil rights and equal rights are still the great unfinished business of america. the suffering has been disproportionately borne by the weak, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and largely african-americans, who were forced by poverty, illness, unequal opportunity to stay behind and bear the brunt of the storm's winds and floods. i believe that kind of disparate impact is morally wrong in this, the richest country in the world.

Similar Quotes
For in a government of laws and not of men, no man, however prominent or powerful, and no mob however unruly or boisterous, is entitled to defy a court of law. if this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors.

Let me tell you, we're still the best country on earth and we're going to take care of our people and we're going to protect this country and the people here.

You get a taste here in new orleans that you don't get anywhere else in the country.
Country New Orleans Taste
One of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. i have never suggested that sen. mccain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. i have not suggested it because i believe that he genuinely wants to serve america's national interest. now, it's time for him to acknowledge that i want to do the same. let me be clear: i will let no one question my love of this country.
